this is extreamly sad news not news at all !! i felt something wrong several timei felt there was something wrong in many directions with alison over the last year

she had been departed from the board too long and had fallen out with her long term partner

i rue the day alison died !! what a wonderfull person she was!!!she was an insperation to the whole community and will be extreamly missed by me ...!

if i was a younger man and she was a woman i meet i would love her as she as a like minded person and would have been my number 1 choice i cant express how bad we all feel about this at many levels ...

but as is my buddhist nature she has already been reborn to this earth as has done many times and the whole planet becomes wise in every way !! possible as is the afinity of humanity with her dimise as she returns to return again within the cycle of life and death

I am sad to hear this. Difficult to say - as it doesn't feel really legitimate to express such things since I never met Ally personally.

As a fellow biker I will say that we all know what risks we take, we live and enjoy biking in the hope that we will not be taken by this kind of accident. How very sad this is. I hope her last days were happy ones and offer my condolences to her family & all who knew her.
